Douay-Rheims: Genesis 17:3-9

³Abram fell flat on his face. ⁴And God said to him: I AM, and my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. ⁵Neither shall thy name be called any more Abram: but thou shalt be called Abraham: because I have made thee a father of many nations. ⁶And I will make thee increase, exceedingly, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. ⁷And I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and between thy seed after thee in their generations, by a perpetual covenant: to be a God to thee, and to thy seed after thee. ⁸And I will give to thee, and to thy seed, the land of thy sojournment, all the land of Chanaan for a perpetual possession, and I will be their God. ⁹Again God said to Abraham: And thou therefore shalt keep my covenant, and thy seed after thee in their generations.

Douay-Rheims: Psalm 104:4-9 (Psalm 105 at Mass)

⁴Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened: seek his face evermore. ⁵Remember his marvellous works which he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth. ⁶O ye seed of Abraham his servant; ye sons of Jacob his chosen. ⁷He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth. ⁸He hath remembered his covenant for ever: the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. ⁹Which he made to Abraham; and his oath to Isaac:

Douay-Rheims: John 8:51-59

⁵¹Amen, amen I say to you: If any man keep my word, he shall not see death for ever. ⁵²The Jews therefore said: Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest: If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death for ever. ⁵³Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead. Whom dost thou make thyself? ⁵⁴Jesus answered: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom you say that he is your God. ⁵⁵And you have not known him, but I know him. And if I shall say that I know him not, I shall be like to you, a liar. But I do know him, and do keep his word. ⁵⁶Abraham your father rejoiced that he might see my day: he saw it, and was glad. ⁵⁷The Jews therefore said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? ⁵⁸Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you, before Abraham was made, I am. ⁵⁹They took up stones therefore to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
